An Equilibrium-Aligned PageRank (EA-PR) centrality algorithm is proposed, and it is theoretically proven that EA-PR centrality can reflect the relative value of products and further derive the value of firms. A new equity asset pricing factor is constructed based on the EA-PR centrality of firms. The key findings can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the EA-PR centrality of firms shows a significant positive linear predictability for equity returns, and the returns associated with the EA-PR centrality factor cannot be fully explained by the Fama–French 6 (FF6) factors. Secondly, the EA-PR centrality factor demonstrates significant explanatory power for the FF6 factors and, to some extent, exhibits predictive ability for future returns of the FF6 factors. Thirdly, the product network model can effectively reflect the market competitiveness and growth potential of firms, and firms with high EA-PR centrality have stronger value capture capabilities, improving gross profit margin, cash flow, and investment growth in the future.

We address this by progressively exploring three key questions. Firstly, we identify a significant momentum premium. In contrast to the US, where momentum forms over a period of 2–12 months, the formation period for momentum in China spans 7–12 months. Moreover, among various momentum factors, factor momentum stands out as the most significant, effectively explaining stock momentum, industry momentum, and regional momentum, whereas the reverse is not true. Secondly, we find that there exists a notable orthogonality between factor momentum and non-momentum factors in China, implying that factor momentum can hardly be explained by non-factor momentum, and vice versa. Thirdly, leveraging this orthogonality, we establish a four-factor model. Expanding upon the MKT and SMB factors, the model additionally includes a mispricing factor and a momentum factor. GRS tests demonstrate that this model outperforms traditional Fama-French three-factor model, Carhart four-factor model, Q-4 factor model, and the three-factor model proposed by Liu et al.

The research reveals a significant negative correlation between CSR performance and financial constraints, indicating that the better a firm's CSR performance, the fewer financial constraints it faces. The tone of CSR reports is also negatively correlated with financial constraints. It has a synergy effect with CSR performance, enhancing the alleviating effect of CSR performance on financial constraints. After conducting a series of robustness tests, such as addressing endogeneity and substituting variables, the main results remain robust. Furthermore, relative importance analysis shows that the impact of CSR performance on financial constraints is significantly greater than the impact of the tone of CSR reports. In additional analysis, we also examine the effects of corporate disclosure of creditor protection information, the presence of deficiencies in information, and firm transparency.

We examine this relationship in the context of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) by studying the role of three motivations (strategic, altruism, or greenwashing) for company engagement in ESG activities in explaining stock liquidity. We also examine the role of sustainability committees in explaining stock liquidity. Using companies included in the S&amp;P ASX 300 from 2009 to 2018, a positive association is found between stock liquidity and a strategic motivation for environmental and social engagement and sustainability committee presence. An unexpected finding is that sustainability committee formation can mislead investors to reward a greenwashing motivation by improving stock liquidity.

Our findings also indicate that investors maintain a propensity to sell wining assets and hold losing assets even when confronted with extreme returns. Thus, we conclude that disposition effect in the real estate market could be best explained by prospect theory.
